Nice!

Concerning the spacebar:

I know common SP spacebars won't fit, but what about the Keycool spacebar? It has 5 stems and looks like it might fit. Does anybody here know of a spacebar that fits?

Don't worry.  It has nice PBT dyesubs, you don't need to replace the caps.

Also, the spacebar is PBT and relatively straight.
Title: Re: Leopold FC700R
Post by: danielucf on Fri, 03 May 2013, 10:40:32
If you buy the black keyboard the spacebar matches any black set relatively well. I had Cherry doubleshots on mine for awhile and it was pretty nice, but I did enjoy the PBT caps as well except when the legends started to fade.

Question about keycap lettering (after reading these reviews:
http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?p=550813)
http://samritchie.net/2012/07/27/hardware-review-leopold-fc700r-tenkeyless/

Both mention that the keys on the white version at least are more likely pad printed.

How good would lettering durability be in this case for the gray version?
Title: Re: Leopold FC700R deadline--> 7 may 20:00 forum time
Post by: jalaj on Tue, 07 May 2013, 17:00:29
the letter durability will depend on your usage, how sweaty your fingers get while typing, and the heaviness of your typing
just check online for durability comparisions of the various technologies of keycap lettering
Title: Re: Leopold FC700R deadline--> 7 may 20:00 forum time
Post by: dante on Tue, 07 May 2013, 17:45:52
if letter durability is a concern you should look at the 700R's with blank keycaps...
...oh wait

Post by: Photoelectric on Tue, 07 May 2013, 18:38:19
I suppose my reply was more of a disappointment and hope that someone will say otherwise, because I have been seriously considering this keyboard for a while and almost put down my name here.  The thick PBT keycaps and the size, and the nice gray color were very enticing for the price.  But reading some reviews at the last moment realizing that the keys most likely have pad-printed letters made it less exciting for the total price.

Pretty sure FC700R's spacebar is non-universal, so it wouldn't be replaceable with most sets offered here through GBs.
